Box Office: ‘Sonic 3’ Makes Franchise-Best $6.5 Million in Previews
They might not be “Wicked” and “Gladiator II,” but “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” and “Mufasa: The Lion King” will face off for another high-powered weekend at the box office.
Paramount’s “Sonic” threequel has made $6.5 million in Thursday previews at the box office. Disney’s “Lion King” prequel will report its preview grosses later this morning.
It will be a close box office battle, but “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” is expected to come out on top domestically with $55 million to $60 million this weekend. “Mufasa: The Lion King” is on track for $50 million in North America, but it will reign supreme at the international box office with an estimated $130 million overseas for a solid $180 million global launch. “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” won’t open internationally until Christmas Day.
The first “Sonic the Hedgehog” movie made $3 million in Thursday previews back in February 2020 and opened with $58 million. It ended up with $319 million globally amid the pandemic.
